I can see how line 108 could fail if $scheme were empty, but line 83
doesn't have the (.) operator in it...  (maybe because I have 5.50).

Do this:
    Run 'FilterProxy -n' and capture the output (it will give a stack
        dump after the warnings).
    Turn on "dump headers to log file" in the Header module.
    Turn on Debug and Timing.

Send me as much info as you can from doing the above.

Thanks,
